Dinner theater production Oct. 12-14 at Michaywe

September 27, 2011

MICHAYWé — The fourth annual dinner theater production of The Michaywé Players, “Wealth, Wishes and Woes,” will take place Oct. 12-14 at the Michaywé clubhouse.

Tickets are $22 each, and only 100 seats per night are available. All tickets will be sold in advance and can be purchased at Saturn Booksellers and at the Michaywé Clubhouse. Ticket sales will close on Tuesday, Oct. 11.

Written and directed by Jeanne Crenshaw, the play involves a couple, Marty and Ben Blake, who come into a great deal of money, and the many people who appear on the scene to help them spend it. The leading roles are played by Nan Robinson and Bob Stimmel, who were both prominent in last year’s production.

There are 18 speaking and four singing parts in the play. Many of this year’s cast have appeared in all of the previous productions.

“We are very happy that most of our veterans are again with us, as well as five newcomers,” Crenshaw said. “It took no time at all for us to become a theatrical ‘family,’ so to speak, and we have had a great time readying the performance. We feel confident the audience will join in on the fun.”

Chef John Kaye has provided a menu for the buffet, including salad, two entrees, appropriate side dishes, breads and dessert. There will be a cash bar open at 5:30 p.m. in the lower level of the clubhouse, with dinner served promptly at 6:30 p.m. The play will begin around 7:30 p.m.

“I hope anyone who has not already purchased tickets and wants to enjoy an evening of great food and fun will hurry out and get them — we can only sell 100 per night and they are going fast,” Crenshaw said.
